GAS ATTACHMENT FOR OIL-STOVZES.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 18, 1919.

Application filed November 5, 1918.. Serial No. 261,245.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ERNST V. JUNGK, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the cit of New York, borough of Brooklyn, in t e county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Gas Attachment for Oil-Stoves, of which the following is a full, clear, andexact description.

This invention relates to heating apparatus and particularly to an improved attachment for oil stoves, and has for an object the provision of an improved construction whereby gas may be applied to any oil stove now on the market.

Another object in View is to provide a gas burner which is formed to surround the ordinary burner of an oil stove and thereby be used at any time without injuring the oil stove or the oil burner.

In the accompanying drawing:

Figure l is a longitudinal vertical section through an oil stove disclosing an embodiment of the invention applied thereto.

Fig. 2 is a transverse section through Fig. 1 on line 2-2.

Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail fragmentary View through Fig. 2 on line 3-3.

Referring to the accompanying drawing by numerals, 1 indicates the casing of an ordinary oil stove which is provided with a well 2 and a burner 3 of any desired kind. This burner may be lighted and turned out or otherwise operated on in the usual manner. Whenever the oil in the well 2 is exhausted, or whenever it should be desired to use the stove without using the oil in said well 2 the gas burner 4 may be used.

This burner comprises a ring section and a let-in section 5. The let-in section 5 is threaded so as to accommodate the nut 6 and suitable covering members 7 and 8. If desired a nozzle or end member 9 may be provided for receiving the end of a flexible hose so that gas may be supplied from any desired gas cook.

The oil stove structure is of the usual structure now in common use and may be of any desired make. However, in the casing 1 a slot 10 is provided in addition to an aperture for the let-in section 5. Through the slot 10 a match or lighted article of any kind may be passed into the burner 4 for igniting the gas. If desired the gas and oil could be used simultaneously, but ordinarily this is not done. Preferably the oil stove is used in the usual way until the oil is exhausted and then the gas turned on so as to continue the heat without the necessity of stopping and re-filling the well or container 2.

In order to prevent local heating of the casing 1 near the burner 4, the burner is provided with gas jets or passageways 11 at an angle as shown in Fig. 3 whereby the flames will, be projected slightly inwardly toward a central point.

What I claim is: i

A combined oil heater and gas heater comprising a casing, an oil burner provided with a wick arranged to project a flame sub stantially centrally of the casing, a gas burner encircling the oil burner but spaced radially therefrom slightly above the end of said wick and formed with inclined passageways whereby the flames produced by the gas will be projected substantially centrally of said casing, and means for directing gas to said gas burner.
